Kling Motion Control
Transfer real motion from a reference video onto any character
Kling Motion Control is a specialized AI motion-transfer model from Kuaishou. Instead of describing movement in words, you show it: upload a reference video containing the motion you want, plus a character image, and Kling Motion Control transfers that performance onto your character with realistic physics and stable identity. No motion capture rig, no keyframing, no actor on set. On Keyo Studio, it's the fastest way to make any character move exactly the way you want.
What is Kling Motion Control?
Kling Motion Control is a dedicated motion-transfer workflow within the Kling video family. Rather than generating movement from a text prompt alone, it uses actual video footage as the motion source. You provide two inputs: a character image (the identity), and a reference video (the movement). The model analyzes the motion in the reference — body posture, gestures, weight shifts, and facial expressions — maps it to your character's proportions, and generates a video of your character performing the same movement.
Motion you show, not describe
The core idea behind Kling Motion Control is simple but powerful: real action is the source of truth. A dancer's choreography, an athlete's movement, or a subtle gesture carries information that no text prompt can replicate — the exact weight shift before a jump, the way clothing follows the body through a turn, the micro-expressions of physical effort. By using a real reference video, Kling Motion Control captures all of it and applies it faithfully to your character. The reference subject and your character don't need to look alike — they only need approximate body proportions.
One reference, dozens of outputs
A single reference clip can power an entire roster of characters. Record one dance or gesture, then apply it to as many different character images as you like — ideal for producing consistent content at scale. This makes Kling Motion Control especially valuable for AI influencer content, product demos with a spokesperson, and any workflow where the same performance needs to appear across many characters or variations.
Realistic physics and identity preservation
Built on the Kling v3 architecture, Motion Control delivers convincing weight transfer and physically coherent motion — feet plant with weight, movement has momentum, and clothing responds naturally. It preserves your character's identity across the whole clip using multi-angle face locking, avoiding the frame-to-frame drift that plagues lesser tools. You can also choose whether the output matches your image's framing or the reference video's, and optionally retain the reference video's original audio.
Best use cases
Kling Motion Control is ideal for character-driven and performance-based video: dance and choreography transfers, AI influencer and spokesperson content at scale, character swaps and animation from a still image, portrait animation and gesture transfer, product demos, and social media content where a specific movement matters. When the exact motion is the point, Kling Motion Control gives you precise, repeatable results.
Pricing on Keyo Studio
On Keyo Studio, Kling Motion Control is priced per second of generated video by resolution: 3 credits per second at 720p and 4 credits per second at 1080p. For best results, use a clear, well-lit reference video and a frontal, full-body character image.
Frequently asked questions
What is Kling Motion Control?
Kling Motion Control is a Kling video mode that transfers motion from a reference video onto a character image, letting you drive a character's movement using an existing video as the motion source.
How much does Kling Motion Control cost on Keyo Studio?
Kling Motion Control is priced per second of generated video: 3 credits per second at 720p and 4 credits per second at 1080p.
How do I get the best results with Kling Motion Control?
For best results, use a clear, well-lit reference video and a frontal, full-body character image. Clean inputs give the model the strongest signal to transfer motion accurately onto your character.
What do I need to use Kling Motion Control?
You need two inputs: a reference video that provides the motion, and a character image to apply that motion to. The model maps the movement from the video onto your character.
What can I use Kling Motion Control for?
Kling Motion Control is ideal for animating a specific character with precise, predefined movement — dance videos, choreographed actions, and any scene where you want exact motion rather than randomly generated movement.
What resolution does Kling Motion Control support?
Kling Motion Control supports 720p and 1080p output, priced at 3 and 4 credits per second respectively on Keyo Studio.
